2019.06 minutiae
- Since I drained my savings to put myself through my teacher
credentialing program, I have been doing a lot of tutoring this summer,
and traveling outside my usual area to meet with students.
Back in the ’00s I would go as far as
Sonoma, Davis, even Carmel, but in recent years San Ramon has been
my limit.
This summer I’ve been spending a lot of time in Dublin and
Livermore, though—the fringes of the East Bay, before
it gives way to the Central Valley.
From way out there the commute to the city and Silicon Valley probably
drains your gas tank pretty quickly.
Or so I gather from the fact that one afternoon I was heading back to
the freeway came to a stoplight, and noticed that the car in front of
me was a Tesla.
And so was the car to my left.
And the one to my right.
And the one that pulled up behind me.
In fact, I was in a pack of no fewer than seven Teslas.
- In other car news, I was returning home on
Highway 24 when I saw an old jalopy in
the fast lane with a FOR SALE sign in the back window.
I was wondering how much the price might be when its entire back
bumper fell off.
So, less after that, I assume.
- As noted in my previous minutiae article, since my school email is
provided by Google I have recently encountered its weird lists of
suggested replies.
Here are the suggested replies to someone who asked for “a good
day and time next week” for an appointment:
